Great stay, will be back again soon”

My friend came from Tokyo while I was already in Osaka but stayed in a different hotel. We have to stay in this hotel so we can have our own room. We arrived super late (around 11pm) before our checkin time but the hotel made sure we have the keycode so we can enter the premise. On our first night, we were a bit scared because it was night time and the street going to the hotel has a lot of old, drunk people. We slept over it and finally realized Japan is Japan, is really safe, (This was my second solo travel in Japan but was joined by my friend this time for remaining 3days only), especially for women. The place is also near the subway, and the JR stn so that’s a big plus. Their escalator is a bit small and can carry only 2 people with 20++ kg baggage. Before checking in make sure to ask about how to operate the aircon first because there’s no Japanese translation on the remote. The staff speak English very well and are so accommodating. Overall we had a great stay, and can’t wait to be back soon!!

Better than expect!”

Situated in a ‘dangerous’ district in Osaka, I was worried at first. But after awhile I’d rather say that it’s much much safer than my hometown even at night with some drunk people on the street, they stay where they are. Just using the main street to commute. The staffs are very friendly and very helpful. They can speak English well. The room sufficed our needs. It’s already big enough for our likes. Air-conditioned. Bed is very very comfortable. It’s my first time staying at hotel with shared shower and toilet but even it’s a shared toilet but it’s always clean whenever we use it. They also have shared kitchen and dining area Free washing machine. 100 yen for 30 mins dryer. 24 hours supermarket near the hotel. Easy to commute with both JR and Metro. Just only 2 stations ride to Kuromon Market (take Metro Sakai-suji Line to Nippombashi) I feel like staying at friend’s house rather than hotel. Definitely going back here again for my next visit!!

Great Value for Money.”

Pros: Walking distance to Osaka Metro. Near shopping area and grocery store. Near almost every where. Free use of washing machine (dryer cost ¥100/30mins). Friendly receptionists, clean rooms. Checking in and out is very easy. They have an elevator for those heavy luggages. Cons: The room is small to fit large luggages. There is only public toilets for men/women and common shower area (with free use of shampoo/conditioner/bodywash). Bring your own toothbrush and toothpaste or you can buy at the reception for ¥100. The location is surrounded by pubs and bars, so when you walk to the hotel at night or early in the morning, there are drunk japanese men on the side streets. They do not clean your room, only when you check out. The reception opens around 2PM and closes at 10PM, you only need to call the number given by the door if you will arrive later than the closing time for the pin code to open the door. We had a great stay. Thank you so much!

Staff is too kind”

Normally i dont like to share good thing to others. But this time i like to share this best hostel in shin imamiya because of the staff is too kind. Please try this hostel while you in osaka and you will never regret!

Great location. Good value. ”

For the price, the location and access is brilliant. But see it as a base to put your bags and sleep. It’s not a hotel that you can spend time in or get work done in. The shared showers are decent. The shared Men’s toilet isn’t too decent. Otherwise it’s a good stay if you’re exploring the city.

Comfy place in an authentic neighborhood”

The room was cozy, although a bit small, but it was more than enough for us and the price was quite fair. It has a kettle and some tea. The beds are very comfy. TV and AC/heater available. The showers were clean and well equipped with soaps and hairdriers. The kitchen, in the ground floor, although small, it was handy and well equipped too. Umbrellas to borrow. Staff was helpful and nice. The neighborhood is probably one of the poorest, and it makes it so authentic. People approach easily to you. Cheap supermarket just 1 minute from the hotel. No cooking after 10pm.

one of the best room in Osaka”

good location helpful staff price also good i will stay here again if i go to Osaka

Great place to stay in Osaka!”

This was our first place to stay in Japan and we loved it! The bed was very comfortable, the washing machine was free and the drier only 100 yen. We could leave our luggage after check-out, so we could spend the day in the city before going to our next city. The only downturn was that in our room the AC was moldy, so we couldn't use it, therefore it was a bit cold (but luckily the blankets were great, warm and comfy).

Recommended Hotel for No Frills Travellers”

Plus points: 1) 10 mins to Haginochaya station (Nankai line to Kansai Airport) 2) 5 mins to Dobutsuen-Mae station (Midosuji line to Namba and Umeda) 3) 1 min to Tamade supermarket (24 hr) 4) enjoyed the spacious balcony (Deluxe Family Room) Minus points 5) only 1 shared toilet on level 6 6) from level 6 to get to shower room or washing machine on level 4, need to go down to level 5 and then through open corridor to get to lift If you rate location as important, this hotel is highly recommended

Comfortable and convenient ”

Metro and JR station nearby, supermarket locate at corner about 50 meter. Overall it is best location live in.

Exceptional”

It's kinda special location, but in fact you can see a bit of real Japanese big city life. Easy to go to the Kansai airport from the place. Nice staff, clean rooms, if you are not smoking- choose non-smoking rooms. Few awesome bars around and the most cheap supermarket I've seen in Japan. Bottom line: it's a choice for a backpackers.

all is ok for the amount we paid, only Men's toilette has no ventilation, better to put the exhaust ”

see above

Good price”

The prices was good, the location closest with Shin Imamiya Station, Tamade Market, Donki Market, and subway station. The staff was humble. Really helpful. Free washing machine but you must pay 100yen/30mins for dry machine. Luckily I got a room on 3th floor, which is same floor with the shower room. The twin room were a small room, but the tv, heater, bedroom, and also refrigerator are good! Thank you!

I will not recommend this hotel to a friend”

The location os not good because the neighborhood always had people especially boys which are drunk And they even got slept in the streets...this is not good if you bring your children with you to stay in their hotel

Will definitely recommend and go back here again! ”

Hotel looks new and is very clean, with free toiletries except toothbrush and toothpaste, but still they have everything you need. Heaters are working fine and clean toilets. They even gave us a free upgrade my mom and dad also liked it very much.

Worth it!”

The room quite small, but worth the price you paid. Very clean!! And the staff are so friendly!

Excellent”

We had a great time staying at this hotel! The facilities were clean and well maintained. They have a very accommodating and very helpful staff. The location is near the dobutsuen mae station which made it very easy to find. Thanks to Yuka and Jean and the other receptionist they are all nice!

New and Clean place”

I will not talk about the location because the property cant help with that but overall the stay was good. Negatives: The beds are low and mostly twin beds which we hate in Japan. There was a weird smell in the room. Wish there were some room fresheners. The room is quite small but expect that in Japan. We did not have much luggage but for those who do remember there is no elevator. The staff did help us to take it up but not sure if he would if you have lots because thats not his duty perhaps. Positives: The quality of everything in the hotel was great. The room had a ceiling light with projector which was just soo aww!! I want to buy one for myself (do check out). The toilets and shower room were clean and equipped with all the basic amenities. Pay extra for toothbrush though. We stayed in a room only plan so had shared bathroom and toilet, did not bother us much.

Great value for money”

Very cheap and clean!! We had a private room with our own tv, kettle, fridge and aircon. Kitchen was well equipped and staff were lovely. Only problem for us was being able to hear everything in the next rooms.

Nice place but solo travellers (esp females), please note”

Amenities wise, I feel that this hotel offered a great bargain. The shower area and toilets are clean and well-equipped, and rooms simple yet cosy. However, as a female solo traveler, the good facilities and money already paid were not enough to stop me from moving out first thing the next morning. While yes, it is a short walking distance to the train station, you are required to walk down very quiet, dimly lit, and almost-empty alleys. Found out later that the hotel was located in a red district, which explains the people I saw loitering around. Hence, unless travelling in groups/you are great at self defence, I would caution solo travellers (especially females) to think twice.
